I want to set up children's programs that ordinarily require that the cd be in the cd player for the program to run to be able to run from a copy somewhere on the HD. It saves the wear, tear, and breakage (inevitable) that five year olds inflict on cd players. OS 9.1, Imac Bondi. THe program in question "installs" on the HD, but requires the cd be in the drive to run. Further complicated in that the cd mounts as two volumes, one being the program, the other an "audio cd." I don't know where or ecactly the method for copying the cd to the drive in such a way that the install program finds it instead of requesting the cd be inserted into the cd player.
Have you checked Disk Utility to see if it shows the CD as two separate sessions? If it does, choose the 'audio cd' as the CD you want to copy. It gets saved as .cdr, change it to .iso, and when needed to be mounted, doubleclick. Otherwise, you could <possibly> drag the contents from the audio session to an image or folder to create a new image. Problems with that are any hidden files the programmer may have added, and these hidden files were far more common pre-X to stop duplicating discs.
